Alan lay on a cot with the steamer rug from his own car thrown over him. A gray bearded man stood near. Miss Thornton? You got my message. I'm afraid he's unconscious now and I hold out little hope of him coming to again. You don't mean 4- I fear so. There's no hope of recovery. His mother will be here any minute. He went over and stood by the window. Amoury drew up one of the chairs and sat down by her lover. Through her tears she could hardly see his once-handsome face, blood-stained and set in an agonized expression. His eyes were shut. Amoury took his left hand n one of hers while with the other she smoothed back his rumplerl black hair. Then through the house came stealing a sweet sound. It was an almost ethereal voice singing n plaintive melody. It soothed Amoury. The gaunt woman, much perturbed, put her head in the door. 'AO excuse it, Miss, she apologized. It's my daughter. She don't know. I'll just go and stop her. A Amoury shook her head in a dazed way. It's all right. It's lovely. But a moment or two after the singing stopped abruptly. It was succeeded by a knocking at the door, a murmur of voices, a scuffling of feet and the sound of crying. Mrs. Drake came in, her handkerchief held to her eyes. Amoury went up to her and slipped an arm around the older woman. Oh Amoury! Amoury! My boy. My dear, dear boy! XVhatever shall I do? she was almost hysterical. About a week after the funeral Amoury went to see Mrs. Herd. She was the woman at whose home Alan had died. Amoury was anxious to do something for herfshe had seemed so wretched and her house was so miserable.

She sat down and found the number Lakeland 7643-M. Miss Thornton? I'm glad it's you. Your fiance, Mr. Drake has just been in a motor acci- dent. He has been seriously hurt and his condition is too critical for him to be moved at once and he is at 419 Holborn Street. It's on the west side of the city. I'm speaking for .Dr. Murphy. He would appreciate it if yogi would come at once as Mr. Drake has been asking for you. 419 Holborn Street. Amoury spent a frantic half hour searching for Holborn street and when she did find it her eyes were so dimmed by tears that she could scarcely see the numbers. Ah, there it was, a little dingy house that had not been painted for years. There was no front lawn and it was in a street lined with similar houses. A gaunt, unhappy- looking woman answered the door. Miss Thornton? Come right in. She led the way into the living room. If Amoury's whole attention had not been focused on Alan she would have been appalled by the room. It was a dark room with but one small window which had a torn blind but no curtains. The floor was dusty, and bare of a rug. There were Lonclon's Exclusive Sportswear 59 Woolen Shoppe CHILDRENS TOGGERY LINGERIE ,, HOSIERY Q43 Dundas St. Phone Met.

A little child, ragged and dirty-faced, opened the door. Hello, dear, said Amoury. 'A Is your mother home? ' Just a minute. A moment later Mrs. Herd came down the passageway wiping her hands on a ragged, blue- checked apron. Oh, Miss Thornton! VVon't you come in? Yes I wasn't sure whether you would remember me or not. Oh I could never forget you, Miss. It was so sad. He was such a beautiful young man. 'tHe was a beautiful young man, agreed Amoury, smiling sadly. That was what I came to see you about. You were so good on that day, isn't there something I could do for you? Someone in the house began to sing. It was the same song and the same voice that had com- forted her on the day of Alan's death. Who is singing? She has a beautiful voice. That's my daughter, Mary. May I see her? She Said.
